Given the coordinates of the trapezoid TANS as


T(-5,-2),A(-5,1),N(-2,3),S(1,2)

The coordinates of the image T'A'N'S' is


T^(\prime)(-2,5),A^(\prime)(1,5),N^(\prime)(3,2),S^(\prime)(2,-1)

From the coordinates of the image given above, it is observed that the transformation rule is


(x,y)\Rightarrow(y,-x)

The transformation rule stated above is that of 90 degrees clockwise rotation, and rotation of figures produce congruent figures

Hence, the answer to the question is;

Yes, they are congruent because the image is a rotation of the pre-image and rotation produce congruent figures
